Chapter 2<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 2 verse 18<\/a><\/p>\n ya Enam vEththi hanthAram yaS chainam manyathE hatham | <\/em> ya: – one who Both the one who thinks about the AthmA as that which is killing (through fire etc) and the one being killed, lack understanding about the AthmA. This fire etc do not kill AthmA and this AthmA does not get killed.<\/p>\n Both of them lack understanding, he who thinks this \u0101tm\u0101<\/em> to be the destroyer and he who thinks it as the destroyed. For (\u0101tm\u0101<\/em>) neither kills nor is killable.<\/span><\/p>\n Whoever fancies that anyone can be an instrument for killing \u0101tm\u0101<\/em>, and whoever fancies that \u0101tm\u0101<\/em> is killable by any cause, both of them are short of wisdom. For reasons stated already that \u0101tm\u0101<\/em> is of eternal character etc., it can never be the cause of destruction; ergo, \u0101tm\u0101<\/em> can never destroy. The root hanti<\/em>, to kill, connotes an act which requires \u0101tm\u0101<\/em> as its object<\/em>. But the act is expressive of that which causes<\/em> a separation, viz: separation of \u0101tm\u0101<\/em> from body\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n The \u015a\u0101stra-injunctions such as:<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018No creature shall be harmed\u2019.[1. ‘Na himsy\u0101d bh\u016btani.’]<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018No br\u0101hma\u1e47a<\/em> shall be killed\u2019[2. ‘Br\u0101hma\u1e47o na hantavyah.’] etc.<\/span><\/p>\n are but expressions indicating that, unlawfully, no separation of \u0101tm\u0101s<\/em> from bodies shall be caused.<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 2 verse 20<\/a><\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/githa.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 http:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Chapter 2 << Chapter 2 verse 18 SlOkam \u2013 Original ya Enam vEththi hanthAram yaS chainam manyathE hatham | ubhau thau na vijAnIthO nAyam hanthi na hanyathE || word-by-word meaning ya: – one who Enam – about the AthmA hanthAram – as that which is … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1099","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-2","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1099","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1099"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1099\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1099"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1099"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1099"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
